Firecracker Flatbread

If your parrot has a taste for spicy things, this is the perfect recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 tbsp. dried crushed peppers
  • 1/2 tbsp. flax and/or sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup diced fresh peppers
  • Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350′ F.
    2. Use a food processor to pulse the rolled oats into a flour consistency and put into a medium bowl. Whisk in the wheat flour.
    3. To the flour, add in extras like dried crushed peppers, seeds, and diced fresh peppers. Try fresh jalapenos, bell peppers, or red and green chilis.
    4. Pour into the mix the warm water and oil (if using coconut oil, make sure it is liquid, not solid). Knead together, dough will be slightly sticky.
    5. Place the dough on a lined cookie sheet, and cover with a large sheet of waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out very, very thinly. You can pre-score the dough into squares or rectangles, or break into bits after cooking.
    6. Bake for 15-20 minutes. For better crispness, move the flatbread to a cooling rack. Let cool until crispy, break and serve!

    Remember! When cooking with peppers, remember to wash your hands thoroughly and do not touch your face or eyes to prevent irritation.
